At least it doesn't look too fugly. And as long as there won't be any giant buggers flying outta there, I'll be fine with it In fact I'm a wee bit surprised that nobody else has come up with something like that before?

I think there is also some work to the rear wing as well.
Gilles Villeneuve: If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
Those vents are for exhausting the stench from Massa's unbathed feet. The fumes were dissolving the resin in the carbon fiber. Then as they flow over the car, they frighten away the air molecules, removing all aerodynamic drag.
Just give it a bit of time before he needs to pit for a new nosecone and we'll possibly see the bottom. Shouldn't be long.

F1live: 'However, the nose itself is of interest for purely technical reasons. "The main challenge with this part was its design and manufacture," continues Tombazis, "as we effectively had a part which, by virtue of the slot, has less carbon fibre, less material and yet still had to conform to all the usual FIA crash tests, which it passed successfully. This was a big challenge for the people involved in producing it."
As to the actual purpose of the slot in the nose, the simplest explanation is that it improves air flow around the floor of the car. With a conventional nose, air remains trapped at that point under the floor of the car, whereas the slotted nose allows some of this air to escape, thus allowing the floor to perform more efficiently.'

Since they're getting rid of all the little winglets and things (i think) next year, are we going to start seeing the cars full of holes? The Ferrari's already got quite a few.
That latest one looks like an elephants mouth to me, just as well they don't have buttons dumbo ears on it too.
